Biohazard cleaning explained
What Biohazard Cleanup in Richmond Means and Includes
The safe disposal, removal and disinfection of bodily fluids, blood, tissue and other hazardous materials after an accident, crime, death, sewage backup or hoarding situation is biohazard cleanup.
It is also called bio hazard cleaning, biohazard remediation, trauma cleanup or bio cleanup. Professional biohazard cleanup is more involved than deep cleaning. Technicians use personal protective equipment, locate every contaminated place, remove porous material that disinfection cannot save and treat affected areas until each reaches a livable condition.

Health and safety
Serious Health Risks Linked to Biohazards in Greater Richmond Businesses and Homes
The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Raw sewage carries hepatitis A, E. coli and salmonella, while wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Why Home Cleaning Products Cannot Remove Biohazards
Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can live in blood. The CDC reports that hepatitis B can remain on surfaces for at least seven days.
